In my experience, it’s less “confusion” more knowing you can’t react the way you want, and he deserves you to (knee the fucker in the balls) because you’ll end up being dubbed “difficult”, and potentially lose your job (or in other situations a selection of other negative consequences from being given a reputation and bullied for it, to literally getting murdered).
Some will try to say the comic is a “product of its time” or whatever, but it is exactly this kind of normalisation that we’ve had in our popular culture and media for all these centuries that makes rape culture still so prevalent today.
Fuck this.
